We had looked into putting the Dinobots in multiplayer very early on when we knew they would be in the main game," he said. "We had to make the call halfway through the project that they would not be in the competitive multiplayer.
"They have a different animation system, their rigs are different, and we didn't know how we would fit them into the carefully balanced set of archetypes (cars, trucks, tanks, and planes)," he explained. "They didn't fit any of those classes, and we couldn't make a fifth class and have it be just the Dinobots.

Yup, plus the heads are all unlockable by reaching level 25 with it's respective class (I've actually got Jazz's alt mode with Snarl's head ... looks hilarious, I love it!)
I can't wait for this DLC and to see how they balanced the alt modes correctly. Because, for instance, if Grimlock is as slow as he is in game, he's going to get torn to shreds! However if he's as fast as the other Titans, that's gonna look hilarious watching these guys run around ... it should be interesting to see how it's done. (Swoop is the easiest to bring into multiplayer).

According to the game, their alt. modes aren't designed to disguise them. They are just meant to be tough and spikey and built to sustain lots of damage.

C'mon... just a joke... as much as I love 'em, the Dinobot's robotic dinosaur alt-mode has always been beyond logic.

But they were made by Shockwave, how could they be illogical? Perhaps you lack the intelligence to understand his design purpose.

Give me a break... the dude's "purple" and has one eye (isn't there a children's song about that?)... total Froot Loop.

I think it'd be cool if they added the shield and sword weapon combo, just to allow more variety here and there. Its fun picking up enemies and stabbing them, and all the other cool crap in dino mode too.

Multiplayer on PC seems okay for me. What problems are you having? There is still the occasional mess up in matchmaking, and host migration is tedious and often breaks, returning you to the multiplayer menu.
